Answer:
Speed of river's current = 5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'd' be the distance covered
Let x be the speed of the rivers current
Speed upstream = 15-x
speed downstream = 15+x
Time = distance / speed
time upstream = 
time downstream = 
the ferry trip upstream takes twice as long as its return trip downstream
= 
divide both sides by d
= 
cross multiply
Add 2x on both sideds
subtract 15 from both sides and divide by 3
x=5
Speed of river's current = 5 mph
Answer:
14x+3=8x+3
14x+3 -3 = 8x+3 -3
Cancels out the 3
14x = 8x
14x - 8x = 8x -8x
Cancels out the 8x
14x = 0
x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is 171 m²
Let l is the length and b is the width of the rectangle
It width is 10 m less than the length. So,
b = l-10 ...(1)
Area of a rectangle is given by :
or
l = 9 m or l = 19 m
If l = 9 m,
b = 9-10 = -1 m (can't be possible)
If l = 19 m
b = 19-10 = 9 m
So, the length an the breadth of the rectangle is 19 m and 9 m respectively.
The answer to this question is c
